Generating code in MQL5 takes so long time. can we do sth about it to make it faster? - page 3

I disagree. If you count the number of times you compile, let's say you do compile 100 times a day within a 12 hr Worksession, you in fact cumulate 9000 seconds, that is 2.5 hours wasted.

Now let's say you do this 5 days a week. You cumulate a whole workday. I would say respawning to a shared library takes you about a day, maybe even 2 days. You will be winning in the long run anyways, especially because in a library, you usually collect all your functions you use in all of your projects.

So investing the time to have such a resource at hand will save you huge amounts of idle time.

My experience.

That’s if you do everything in series
I parallel work so use the compile time to do other things 
Also I don’t compile a 100 times a day that’s excessive
 

True, 100 times a day is excessive. - Thats not exactly the point I was trying to make, it was exaggerated.

I ask myself, what could you do in a 90 second time window apart from waiting?

Trying to think of a task thats short enough to fill the timegap, next to breathing or vegetate?

Get a coffee 😁
 
Imagine 100 coffees a day is like jumping to warp 5 for a week....

Hi developers.
When I am trying to compile my code in MQL5 it takes so long time. about 120 sec. the same code in MT4 complies in just a blink. 
Can I do any thing to make the "Generating Code" process faster??
hi dear ameri...Did you solve your problem?
 

If you use a big/complex macro multiple times, it really makes the final code much bigger and compilation takes longer as the macros will be expanded into actual code.

Check that you do not use big/complex macros. The same issue might occur also with templated functions and classes.

Hello everybody, having the same issue: however my compiling lasts only for 6 and more sesc(lines above 12000), but gets really annoying).

Not so elegant, but now I use this: coding in Visual Studio Code (checking 12000 lines takes 0.35 sec instead of 6.3 sec), compiling with mql5 editor only if really needed.

Hoping helps a bit, however i am not really staisfied with this way.
